Deacon on the Revival.

Deacon Dinwiddle, the venerable ole
father in Israel, who resides in the ives
end, was seen yesterday and Intercepted
regarding the reVival conducted by Major
Cole.
Wonderful meetings, Wonderful

much enthused.
"But how about the salvation army?'
Intercepted the reporter.
"Why, it deserves more credit than all
the balance put together. 1t has accom-
plished more good than the balance, be-
cause it has had much harder and more
depraved class of people to work upon.
OH it is grand and the results are en-
couraging to ms who pray for the salvation
of Sedalia and the entire world.
The deacon then fourished a monstrous
cotton bandana and blew his red bugle
like the blasts of Bill Vedder's locomotive.

style of exhortation-fervently praying
and singing alternately. The Crap
Shooter and the Kid shook tamborines,
while the Sleeper sawed a terrible

in unutterable delight to the
praise of an All Seeing Deity.

THE BURGLAR SCARE.
How The Stories of X scent Bur-
glaries Aft ct NervousIy
Dispose People.

Of late several burglaries have
been committed in and near the city,
the publication and talk over which
seems TO have rather an unpleasant
effect upon those who are inclined to
be of nervous temperament, and
not few are the ludicrous stories that
are told at their expense. Thursday
night the residents of the north side
in the neighborhoOd of st. Louis
street were treated to a most sensa.
tional and thrilling episode which for
the time being proved a very seri-
Gus matter to the chief participants.
By special request the BAzoo with
holds names, but the particulars are
about as follows:
In handsome dwellingin the local
ity named, resides three families, the
male members of which not unfrequent
ly from home. Thursday night was
one of The occasions and one of the
ladies was also absent having gone to
the revival services. When she re-
turned she knocked upon the door
and was answered by one of the other
ladies who desired to know who was
there.
"Open the door or you will fluid out
mighty qr'ck" she responded in a
spirit of mischief. This was enough
to scare the inmates from the door
and p ter waiting II vain for some
time TO be let in, the intruder passed
round to the rear door, for which she
had a key, and entered. Passing
through the hallway she went to tine
front room while the others rushed
out the back door sore inning at the
top of their voices. tbs raised the
entire neighborhOod in short order
and created a commotion equal to
a fire. Yesterday the ladies objected
to being interviewed on the subject,
and their friends say they 90 into
spasms at the mention of the name of
burglars.
ANOTHER CASE.
The friends of well-known
dentist also attended the revival
meetings Thursday night accom-
panied by the doctor. When they left
home they forgot to lock the front
door and when they returned were
somewhat surprised on entering the
house to encounter a dog which came
at them in anything but friend
ly way. Of course they vacated the
premises and left him in control with
a promptness that was remarkable,
light was secured, the house surround
ed and careful search in expectation
of finding burglars about, was made
but beyond the dog nothing was dis
covered.
1t is supposed some friend finding
the door open left the dog as a joke
as nothing was missing from the
premises. The dog, however, was
stranger and left as soon as released,
which fact leaves the doctor some
what puzzled in regard to the mat

Talking FOR the n, DIV.

"I think" said a well-known citi zen
yesterday, ''now that the greatest re-
vival ever known is in full blast it
would be appropriate for Major Cole
and the Salvation leaders to It aside
some one meeting at which an admis-
sion or a collection should be taken
for the benefit of the poor. The win
ter has oeen severe and is without
sign of early abatement. Times have
been hard for all, but very hard upon
the poor. The city fund is exhausted
and one of the best ways | know of
serving the Lord is to care for bis
poor. Can't you suggest the matter
in the BAzoo / am not able to do
much but will do my share that way
or any other way.

GOD IS SPEAKING.

"GOd is speaking to Sedalia ;"
He has called on many a one,
BY the wooings OF His spirit,
To believe on Christ His son.
Hundreds from their hearts have answer
ed,
dearest Lord / do believe"
Help, oh God, my unbeliev.ng,
And Thy blood-bought-child receive.
Many OF these ransomed hundreds,
Have been Satan's vassals true,
But are now each day inquiring,
Lord what wilt thou have me DO.
Mammon has been god of many,
Self and lust the god Of some,
Who have Yield to the spirit
Vas it gently whispered, "come !"
Little children flock to Jesus,
For his blessing as of old,
And receive, thank God, treasure,
Which cannot be bought with gold.
Meath the weight of these great blessings
And the love which they inspire,
We would make our heart an altar,
For sacrifcial fire.
And our prayers from off that altar,
Should rise like incense sweet,
Bearing the subjects of our prayers
Before the mercyseat.
The ones who still refuse to have
Christ Jesus DER them reign,
Who count it loss to serve the lord,
And Satan's service gain.
Who yet without thy mercy great
In deaths dark hour may say,
Past are the summer and harvest,
And my soul is lost to-day"

Death of Mrs. j. A. Beattie.

The news of the death of Mrs. G..
A. Beattie, wife of Rev. G. A. Beattie
at her heme in Lansing. Mich, will
be received with profound regret by
her large circle of friends here.
Over year ago, Mrs. Beattie con-
tracted a violent cold and this brought
on a complication of troubles which
resulted in acute consumption of
the stomach. She has been an
intense sufferer ever since and her
death took place at seven o'clock
Thurday evening. Mrs. Beattie was
a native of Carlisle, Ohio, was mar
ried there and came to this city with
her husband some six years ago,
where the latter up till last summer,
Oficiated rs the pastsr of the First
Presbyterian church. She was a
Christian woman of kindly presence
and great intellectual force and was a
helpmeet indeed to her husband in
his various church duties. In the
social circle, she was an ornament,
also and her genial smiles aud friendly
greeting were like the rays of sum
shine to those with whom she came
In contact She was the
much beloved sister of ID. Ell. Smith
and Mrs. T. K. Potter, of this city,
and Henry Smith, of Houstonia, and
they. together with her husband, have
the sympathy of all, in their dire
affection. Miss Sallie Potter, her
neice, of this city, was with her at the
time of her death, and also her mother
of Ohio, beside other relatives from
that state. ID. III. Smith and his
daughter, Miss Gertie, who left here
Wednesday for Lansing, did not reach
that place until last night, hence were
denied the consolation of seeing their
beloved relative once more in life.
The remains of Mrs. Beattie will be
taken to her old home In Carlisle.
Ohio, where they will be inferred In
the family cemetery next Monday,
